C566C-AFS-CV0W0342

Overview

The C566C-AFS-CV0W0342 is a single-color amber LED from the Screen Master series by Cree LED. It features a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole package with an oval lens measuring 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm. The component emits light at a wavelength of 591 nm with a typical forward voltage of 2.1 V and a test current of 20 mA. Optical intensity reaches 2850 mcd, while power rating is 130 mW. Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to +85 °C, with a viewing angle of 70° x 35°.

Feature Summary

• Emits distinct amber light via a tinted oval lens for clear visibility
• Designed for standard through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards
• Provides high optical intensity within a compact radial footprint

Applications

• Panel indicator lights for electronic equipment
• Status signaling in industrial control systems
• Visual alerts in automotive instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CV0W0342 against official Cree LED documentation to confirm exact binning and lens characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management requirements before integration. Cross-reference datasheet revisions for any recent manufacturing changes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a specific amber hue at 591 nm is required for visual indicators. Consider the 2.1 V forward voltage drop and 20 mA drive current for circuit design. Evaluate the 7.8 mm height and oval dimensions against spatial constraints in the target assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Screen Master series of single-color LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The C566C base model utilizes a 5 mm through-hole form factor common in legacy and modern panel designs. Variations in suffixes denote differences in wavelength, intensity, and lens coloration within the same physical package.
